Bethel Music: ‘Without Words: Synesthesia’ album review

Keeping the vocal mic’s stowed away and focusing on an experience purely through the music, the Bethel Music organization’s second all-instrumental album is accessible and widely applicable with familiar tracks such as “It Is Well,” “This Is Amazing Grace,” and “Oceans.” The album’s true gems, however, are found in the original tracks interspersed between new arrangements on classic worship tunes. The instrumentation, orchestration, and overall arranging on Synesthesia prove the level of depth and talent behind this organization.
